Holiday Bell Carol by Elliot Del Borgo. For String Orchestra (violin I, violin II, viola, cello, contrabass, rehearsal piano). Orchestra Music. Grade 1.5. Score only. Duration 2:40. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.14031).
This piece will make an ideal holiday program selection. It is reminiscent of "Ukranian Bell Carol" but is much easier to play. The textural varieties and straightforward harmonic background give the piece a mature sound, and the comfort level of the parts should allow the students to play musically with great confidence.
